[Biojava-l] A software project suggestion

[Andreas Prlic]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your interest in a project. Our current TODO list can be found here:
http://www.biojava.org/wiki/BioJava:Modules

The part of biojava that probably would benefit a lot from some work
are the Blast parser modules... E.g. we are missing a PSI blast parser
...

Andreas
